I have been working with individuals who are dealing with a variety of challenges for 14 years....issues such as depression, anxiety, relationships, difficulties arising from substance use, life transitions and grief. What excites me most about this work is witnessing the journey of healing that my clients are courageously undertaking and the privilege of being invited to provide them with support and encouragement during the process. I offer a free half-hour initial consultation and some sliding scale fees. Call 303-819-7393 for an appointment.

I guide people ready to make a soul-centered career shift.

My approach to counseling is strength-based, humanistic, relational, and mind/body-centered. I focus on working with the nervous system to strive for emotional regulation. Through my own personal practice and teaching, my curiosity around the healing powers of the mind-body connection grew. My first hand awareness of the mind-body connection as a therapeutic tool led me to find Somatic Counseling --- a form of psychotherapy that values this powerful connection. When working with couples, I work with a co-facilitator, Dylan Leigh, MA, LPCC. We rely heavily on attachment theory and Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy (PACT). We see the couple in tandem during session. This co-therapy model is effective and removes common hinderances to couples therapy such as triangulation.

My philosphy is that everything is connected, the past, present and future. Our current family acts in accordance to continuing patterns of our family of origin and their ancestors. When working with clients I look for healthy and dysfunctional patterns. We trace the origin of these patterns as far back as needed to disentangle from the dysfunctional once, so we can live healthy and productive lives.

Everything we have ever experienced is stored three dimensionally in our memory and can be recalled. This is important because we use this internal map to trace the steps back into the past to understand the origin of our difficulties. Life loves understanding and order and in return both of these characteristics create peace of mind.

Mutual arising believes that with every issue we encounter, the solution is already present as well.
